I am so excited. I am currently packing for Paris, Italy and Barcelona. I am going for 1 month. So, when I saw your vid on IG, I literally was so excited. Okay, let me watch this video now...Yay!!😁✨️🌸🎀

[@lialala5228]

We welcomeyou to Italy. It is currently very hot in Italy so carry lots of linen items / summer clothes, comfortable shoes and portable fan is an essential. Enjoy your trip ❤.

[@ambermckenna2929]

I love the eye shadow palette and I absolutely LOVE what you did with the wig ✨ you always pull your looks together perfectly 😊

[@yayadrew]

I luv the way you tied your hair with the scarf.

Running here! Excited for all the travel content 🙌🏽💃🏽

[@bongiwekgololo2533]

I still love watching you vlogs ❤ I hardly comment but I'm here... Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@noluvuyogloriangesi4516]

Me too 😅

[@bomyoh]

Ahhh so excited 😁🌸 Can’t wait for the Italy vlogs 🥂

[@jewelturner1]

Enjoy Italy! It's a beautiful country rich in culture, i.e., music, art, architecture and food. I've been many times during my travels, but Florence is my favorite City. I hope that you indulge in the wine tasting, if you drink, and also the cooking classes, which I did on a past trip. I always feel at home in Italy, as I am surrounded by such visual beauty! I hope that you left space for shopping, especially, in Florence for leather and Rome and Milan for fashion. I will be traveling throughout Italy in early November. It's the perfect time for me, as we will be electing a new President...hopefully, Kamala Harris! Arriverderci and ciao Bella!

[@estherkissi6142]

Omg you’re going to love Italy! I just got back from Lake Como for my sisters wedding renewal. Absolutely beautiful!

[@Its_Shaniele]

I’m obsessed with traveling and travel content😅 I always anticipated seeing you post travel contents because ik you’d “ hangle” it ❤

[@charlenemarshall8847]

Italy is no doubt one of the beautiful countries in Europe to visit and great weather in the summer. I live in London and I travel around Europe often. Definitely keep safe out there and enjoy!

[@shackeriabrown2378]

I'm really excited for the Italy 🇮🇹 travel content. That's my dream vacation destination ❤ so I'll be living it up vicariously through your lens and I know your going to enjoy and represent well, the pieces alright passed the vibe check ❤

[@Simplelivingslowliving]

Yay ❤❤❤❤ I miss Italy so much. Venice won my heart. Have fun girl. Praise be to God.

[@xoxokaebeauty]

Yayyy Tavia!!! Happy Sunday 🎉🎉🎉I remember back in the day when u used to wear a bunch of sewins. Hourglass veil is a banger for under eyes

[@Zairemom]

[@nathalieolivianja-kwa8653]

This is why you are one of the best. You have a GOOD heart. Awww stop it 😢we are too similar. I can help fixing my hair regardless of how good ppl say it looks 😅. I must try one size products. Never have. I like my Nars,Dior, CT and ysl beauty.I have difficulties trying new products 😢. I like your "simple makeup look" nice🌹

[@itsalexandriarey]

What is going on with KZbin not sending me notifications? I'm totally fine with searching for your new uploads but my gosh lol! So glad for you that you made it to Europe, I hope to be back there by Spring.

[@Keesha]

Love it when your accent comes through when you get emphatic. Here’s a random question, because you’re such a quintessential Jamaican girl : what’s your hack for keeping your whites pristine? My Jamaican Mum taught me to soap them up in cake soap with a bit of bleach, put them in a clear plastic bag and leave them in the sun. She said it kept my cloth diapers perfectly white, so she passed the method down to me😂. What’s yours?

[@CiataJolie]

Your skin is always popping🤩🤩🤩

[@preciousglory6735]

So organize ❤❤

[@gabbys.9398]

Nice Vlog I know you'll have a great time...I also which nars would bring back the mini size foundation 😫

[@thomasinabrown314]

This is so timely because I'm packing for Morocco this week but I realize that I am not adult enough to wear that much white. I would look dingy by the end of the day.

[@maudelinejean-pierre2337]

Your hair looks beautiful, can you provide couple places where you get your sew-in weave in NJ? I'm on the hunt for a great hairstylist

[@CourtneyyMorriss]

Your wig looks so freakin' good!!!

[@OctaviaB]

Thank you 😊

[@miag6211]

Oh honey, I just use that eyebrow razor yesterday on my hair VV unit that I have I don’t like a thick unit. I need it easy breezy beautiful you did right you know how to do it.

[@vanessanyrko]

where did you buy the eyebrow razor? ❤

[@miag6211]

@@vanessanyrko or your local hair store

[@Belinda_Love]

Makeup in this vlog was 🤌🏽 Although you have to feel comfortable with your hair, the extensions didn't look too full. It looked beautiful and looked like it grew from your scalp ❤

My France trip is two weeks always and I’m nowhere near ready😭. Not even sure if I should do braids or weave. Send help😭

[@graciel274]

Love your make-up look! Which foundation do you use?

[@Belinda_Love]

Yeeesssssss ❤❤❤

[@CourtneyyMorriss]

I agree that thinner sew-ins have a more natural appearance

[@OctaviaB]

Yup you get it

[@lmusima3275]

I’m glad you’re going to Italy 🇮🇹 which part? I’ve been to Italy 3 times, Rome, Varese, Milan, Lake Como, and Naples. I’m going there in September to Milan and then Verona.

[@nancyismyname]

So….all of your clothes are white/taupe? We need more color in 2025, Octavia.

[@donetta1447]

She like neutral colors. Nothing is wrong with that. It’s her personal style and preference so no need to pressure her for color. Or not being true to herself

[@Nachonite867]

or she can be herself and wear what she feels great in.

[@naashbabe]

Gurl can you just mind your business and let people be ? Always negative on the comments. She wears whatever she wants if you want color you can buy it and wear it.
